Qin Mu sat under the lantern and the jade pendant in front of his chest gave off a weak fluorescent light. This jade pendant still wanted to float up and fly into the distance.
"Is this Carefree Village? If it isn't, then where exactly is Carefree Village? "
The small boat moved leisurely but its speed wasn't slow. After boarding the small boat, Qin Mu noticed that the skeletons no longer paid any attention to them as if they couldn't see them.
The skeletons returned to normal and the skeletons seemed to have returned to death, sinking back into silence.
Qin Mu shook his head and felt that everything he had encountered along the way was inconceivable. Things that he didn't even dare to imagine had actually happened and each of them was stranger than the last.
The monsters in the darkness, the messengers of death in the village beside the river, the world in the gray fog, and now the small boat they were on and the skeleton boatman under the straw raincoat. Everything seemed so inconceivable yet it had happened.
Furthermore, the world in the darkness of Great Ruins wasn't as simple as Village Chief had imagined. Village Chief originally thought there was a Dark Realm but from the looks of it, just a Dark Realm alone couldn't explain everything they had encountered.
Dark Realm might exist but it might not only be Dark Realm. Maybe there were other worlds in the darkness.
"Village Chief, who was that passenger who gave us Fengdu coins?" Qin Mu turned back to look at the boatman and asked softly.
"An old friend."
Village Chief had an indifferent expression and said, "I haven't seen him for a long time and haven't heard any news about him. I thought he was dead but I didn't expect him to still be alive. The people of our era who could live until now are all very remarkable. "
Qin Mu's thoughts wandered. Village Chief's era must have been a time where heroes were born in large numbers, like the resplendent stars. There must have been many world-shaking people who were as outstanding as Village Chief.
However, it was a pity that time hastened people's aging. Even the peerless magnificence back then had aged and didn't have long to live.
"I didn't expect him to still be so active and like to run around. I don't know how he ended up here this time."
Village Chief smiled, "He knows how to curry favor and has seen more mysteries than me. Actually, I envy him for living a carefree life and being more relaxed than me. Mu'er, you might meet him. This fellow doesn't have a fixed residence and likes to join in the fun. His name is Ling Jing. He has a mole under his left eye and is missing a ring finger on his right hand. I cut it off. "
"Village head, where will this ship take us?"
Qin Mu looked around. They were already very far away from the entrance of this strange world. He couldn't see where they had come from. If they kept floating like this, he didn't know where they would end up.
Furthermore, who knew if this was the Big Ruins or not?
In fact, this might not even be the world where the Great Ruins was located!
Village Chief frowned slightly. Qin Mu's jade pendant had attracted them here. He had lived in Great Ruins for so many years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing and come to such a strange place. However, since Qin Mu's jade pendant had brought them here, it was most likely related to the origin of the jade pendant.
Now, they did not know where they were and could not get off the boat. They could only let the boat and the strange boatman take them to the unknown.
"Mu 'er, if I didn't bring you out, I might never have discovered this place."
Just as they were talking, the gray fog in front of them gradually faded away, revealing a vast land with majestic mountains. The mountain range was no longer Skeleton Mountain. Near the edge of the sea of fog, there was a wooden dock that could anchor the boat.
The small boat came to a stop as it approached the dock.
Qin Mu immediately took out a Fengdu coin and planned to pay for the boat fare when the boatman raised two white bones.
Qin Mu took out another Fengdu coin and the boatman nodded. The two of them got off the boat and walked towards the land. Qin Mu turned back to take a look and saw the small boat and the skeleton boatman on the boat had disappeared into the fog. Only the lantern at the bow of the boat was still giving off a weak glow in the fog.
"What a strange place …"
The jade pendant in front of his chest gently floated up and pointed forward.
Qin Mu followed Village Chief forward. After walking for a short distance, they saw a boundary stone with a few seal words written on it.
"Living realm of the dead, the living shall stop and the dead shall move forward."
Qin Mu read out the words on the stone and the two of them were stunned. Qin Mu hesitated and asked, "Village Chief, are we still going forward?"
Village Chief raised his head and looked forward. He could faintly see numerous villages and smiled, "Since we're here, how can we not continue forward and see what's in front? Let us continue forward. "
Qin Mu followed him and the two of them crossed the boundary stone. Suddenly, Qin Mu cried out in astonishment and raised his hands. He saw that his hands had actually turned into ghastly white bones without him noticing!
He hurriedly tore open his clothes and saw that his flesh and blood had all disappeared. Only ghastly white bones were left!
He looked at Village Chief and saw that Village Chief had also turned into a skeleton floating in the air. What was strange was that Village Chief actually grew out arms and legs!
